Comfort Cake

This amazingly comfortable and squishy looking cake came from Chez Récamier, a French-style Japanese bakery in Bangkok, Thailand.

It's a steamed milk cake. Doesn't its pillow-like look make you feel like just jumping into it? Even the whiteness and the milk part of it have such comforting associations...
Steamed Milk Cake packaging.It looked like a puffy white pillow.
Indeed, the texture was soft and fluffy...
And its texture was fluffy through and through.
And the milk flavour came through as a very light caramel fragrance.

I thought this was unusual because I normally come across the egg and cheese variants. This was my first time seeing a pure milk cake.

Such a simple joy doesn't require much of a write up I guess. I'd get this again the next chance I have!
